Hi Steve, and Val,

thank for your answers.
It is midnight here now, I just wanna ask you Steve quickly - you
write that SignPuddle 2.0 will support compoud signs as well, or just
it be more like SignText?
So SignPuddle 2.0 will be released soon? I'll have to discuss with you
some more technical details, because I need our system still be
capable to exchange data with SignPuddle.
